Writing Where I Live
I love Richmond. Sure, the Texas girl in me still gets a little choked up at the sight of an old gray barn across a sea of bluebonnets, but Virginia has become home for my family in the last thirteen years. Folks have asked me why I “decided” to set my Nichelle Clarke series here, and I’m […]

From rabbit trails to an intricate web: keeping writing fun
A hot mess. That’s how I would describe my rough drafts, and I’m probably being kind to myself there. Way back when Nichelle first popped into my head locked in that car trunk and proceeded to pester me to write her story, I tried to make an outline. It did not go well. It’s been a minute, […]

Two series, three kids, and adapting to change
Every word for itself. I’ve said it a million times, usually behind a smile as I answer a question about juggling three little ones and more than twice that many novels. It’s still true six years into writing full time, though the meaning—like my process—has evolved. In the beginning: bedlam When Front Page Fatality sold, my […]

November 2018
I hope your Thanksgiving was as lovely as ours! November has been another busy month here, and I’ve spent most of it either revising DEADLY POLITICS, the new Nichelle Clarke novel, or driving children to or from basketball practice. Good news on both fronts: the book is in good shape and almost ready to […]

August 2018
Did anyone see where August went? It seems I spent a week at the beach with my family, turned around twice, and here it is almost Labor Day. I’ve been busy this past month, writing the new Nichelle Clarke novel, keeping up with my littles, and meeting readers at the Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival in Suffolk, VA. The Suffolk festival is one of my favorite events of the year because I love the town and the people, and the festival is just the right size: big enough to be a great weekend, but still small enough that I get time to really chat with readers instead of just signing a book and saying thank you to move the line along. If you’ve never been, mark your calendar for the first Saturday in August next year and join us!
Next week, I’m headed to St. Petersburg, FL for the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention. If you’re coming too, please find me and say hello! Here’s where I’ll be during the weekend:
Thursday, Sept. 6, 11 a.m.: Panel, In the Papers: Journalists in Fiction, Royal 3AB room
Friday, Sept. 7, 9-11 a.m.: Volunteering at the registration desk
Saturday, Sept. 8, 8 a.m.: Panel, Drawing Inspiration From Our Kids, Majestic room
Both panels are at the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel, and I’ll be signing books in the signing room immediately after both, too.
I hope you’ve had a wonderful summer. It’s been a lovely one here—I have several exciting things happening writing wise in the coming months, and am looking forward to sharing all kinds of fun news with y’all.
With much affection,
LynDee

July 2018
I hope you’re enjoying summer! It’s flying by here, between keeping up with my littles and working on Deadly Politics, the new Nichelle Clarke novel, but I sure am having fun being back in the Telegraph newsroom in the mornings and evenings, and having my children home during the day. Amid the writing, trips to the pool, and basketball practices, I’ve managed to squeeze in some summer reading, and my choices have been excellent so far: Jennifer Hillier’s Jar of Hearts is dark, haunting, and kept me up late turning pages. I also got an early peek (lucky me!) at Hank Phillipi Ryan’s new standalone psychological thriller, Trust Me (out in August), and it’s compulsively readable and impossible to figure out.
Speaking of summer reading, the fabulous folks at Severn River Publishing have the pretty new kindle version of Front Page Fatality for FREE download today, July 31st! If by chance you haven’t read Nichelle’s first adventure, or you just want a copy of the updated version with the fabulous new cover for your e-reader, go grab it. And of course, if you have a friend you think would enjoy the series, now is a great time to mention it and get them started. I’m heading back to my writing corner, wishing you a fantastic August full of great times and great books.
With much affection,
LynDee
*Update: Front Page Fatality made it all the way to #1 in the entire Kindle free rankings! Many thanks to all of my readers!
